Namsan Tower: Love is in the Air


 HOLAAAA! finally i made one post again here.

i've made big mistake with delete all albums in my Google+ account, while one of them is connected with Blog's picture -,,- since that day, i was too lazy to update this blog again. but, many people (who just found my blog randomly) asked me this and that about Korea, and told me to update my blog again, so here we go.

Today's post is NAMSAN TOWER!

Namsan Tower is the icon of Seoul itself. some people called it Seoul Tower ^^


You can find the cute love shape things as soon as you've arrived there.


do you know why is Namsan tower so famous among the couples? because you can lock your love lock over there.
At Seoul’s Mt Namsan, thousands of love padlocks can be seen hanging on the fences around the base level of N Seoul Tower. Locks of love is a custom in some cultures where love birds would lock their padlocks at public areas and throw away the key to symbolise that their love will be locked forever.



and you also can find the couple chairs everywhere. since i dont have any boyfriends to go with, I asked Yudra to take a  pic with me LOL.
my next visit should be with my future husband :)


i think the best time to go here in summer is around 4pm or 5pm.. because the sunshine will be little bit friendly. for winter...... hmmmm sangcheol oppa ever asked me to go here once in winter, but i think it will be so windy and COLD. so i dont think going here in winter is a good idea. except you can bear with cold weather.



Also! dont forget to take a pic with Haechi! hihihi. Haechi is official symbol of Seoul. The haechi or haetae was often used in architecture at Joseon's palaces and was seen as a powerful and important symbol by Joseon's rulers


If you ever watch korean drama Princess Hours, you might know Alfred, Prince Shin's cute teddy bear.

Updated: unfortunately teddy bear museum in Namsan has been closed since November 2013 T_T_T
if you want to make a visit, you can go to Jeju Teddy Bear Museum or the other cities, such as Gyeongju, Chengdu and Seorak.
You can read my other post about Jeju Teddy Bear Museum here



I will give you some of teddy bear museum pics in Namsan. I made a visit 2 years ago in May 2012.



2 years-ago-pic is so different -,-"


SPOT PRINCESS HOURS THINGS!
If you want to go to observatory, you should pay around 8,000 won for the entrance ticket. there's restaurant on the top floor, but it is soooooo PRICEY.
i wish someone propose me over there someday huahahaha.

you can write your wish in this love wall
the Seoul view from the top
How to go there
Access by taxi or car is prohibited so you’ll have to walk, take a bus, or cable car.

1) Get off at Dongguk Station (line 3) exit 6. And take bus to Namsan Tower. it should be 5~10 minutes by bus.
2) By Cable car: Get off at Myeongdong Station (line 4) exit 4. Try to find Pacific Hotel. usually there's shuttle bus in front of Pacific Hotel that pick you up to go to cable car station for free.
Fare (cable car): Round-trip: 6,300 won, One-way: 4,800 won 
you have to queue around 30~45 minutes for cable car on weekend because so many people.

if you are in tight budget, you can just go to Namsan by bus. and also cable car is too crowded T_T
